Giovanni: Oh, my love! Mi dispiace! (I’m sorry!) I was at the bank when they told me! Did I miss it? Am I too late?

Give him here…

Maria: Giovanni…?

Giovanni: Shhh, my love. It will be alright. Tu sei un Auditore. Sei un combattente. Percio combatti! (You are an Auditore. You are a fighter. So fight!)

Listen to him! A fine set of lungs!

Maria: And what shall we call him, my love?

Giovanni: Ezio!

Ezio Auditore da Firenze!

Ezio: Ehi Claudia. (Hey Claudia.) How are you?

Claudia: Bene… (Okay…)

Ezio: You shouldn’t keep things from me.

Claudia: It’s Duccio.

Ezio: What of him?

Claudia: I think he’s been… unfaithful.

Ezio: Who told you this?

Claudia: The other girls. I thought they were my friends.

Ezio: Harpies! You’re better off without them.

Claudia: I loved him.

Ezio: No, Claudia. You only thought you did.

Claudia: He should suffer for what he’s done.

Ezio: Wait here. I’ll go have a word with him.
